Create a Canvas quiz from an AI assessment brief

Give Notis the course and quiz requirements to create a Canvas quiz shell from your assessment brief.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Quiz

Creates a quiz in an existing Canvas course.

Why this helps

Assessment plans can be ready before there is time to enter quiz settings in Canvas.

  • Reduce repetitive quiz setup from an approved brief.
  • Keep course and quiz settings tied to their source request.
  • Identify missing configuration details before creating the quiz.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas quiz from each brief using the supplied course and settings, and to ask about required missing values.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real assessment brief and review the quiz settings in Canvas.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create quiz questions too?

No. This action creates the quiz. Adding questions requires the separate quiz question action.

Can it assign the quiz to an assignment group?

Provide a valid assignment group id when appropriate. That setting applies only to graded quiz types.
